UPDATE: GOP candidate Dr. Ben Carson to hold book signing

UPDATE: Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson will host a book signing October 11 at the Barnes & Noble bookstore at Hamilton Place Mall.

The event, scheduled to start at 3:30pm, will require customers to purchase Carsons’ new book at the bookstore. Once the sale is completed, they’ll be given an wristband to stand in line for the signing.

The color-coded wristbands will determine which group gets their books signed. No personalizations for the signing will be allowed, according to the news release from Barnes & Noble.

PREVIOUS STORY: According to a press release, Republican candidate, Ben Carson will be in the Scenic City in October for a book signing titled, A More Perfect Union: What We the People Can Do to Reclaim Our Constitutional Liberties.

The presidential candidate will be signing the book at Barnes and Noble in Hamilton Place Mall on October 11 at 3:30 p.m.

The press release states, A More Perfect Union is Dr. Carson’s opportunity to “encourage every citizen to read and think about the Constitution, and to help defend it from those who misinterpret and undermine it. In our age of political correctness it’s especially important to defend the Bill of Rights, which guarantees our freedom to speak, bear arms, practice our religion, and much more.”

In a recent Iowa poll, Dr. Carson has been closing in on Republican front runner Donald Trump.

This event is also part of a bookfair fundraiser for the Urban League of Greater Chattanooga.

If customers would like to support the ULGC, they can mention it during checkout and a percentage of their purchase will go to assist this organization in their on-going work for our community.
